Wow what started as a busy travel day to Los Angeles ended up being a day that the King Of Pop voice was silenced. I layed on my bed at the Omni Hotel in down town LA wacthin a tv news break from KTLA. "Michael Jackson rush to UCLA hospital due to cardiac arrest was found not breathing". OMG not breathing not good then I hear what I did not want to hear "THE KING OF POP HAS DIED". Gone at the age of 50. I was here in the very same city he died in just a few miles from my hotel I saw what was the helicopter transporting his body to the mourge. Everyone loved thriller but Off The Wall was my joint. Reaction here in Los Angeles and across the world is shock,sadness and just plain hurt. Michael Jackson was alot of things Icon,entertainer,singer,etc. But he was also someones brother,uncle,father,and son..I heard someone say the world lost a great voice and everyone who loves music period lost their soul and every performer can trace their dna of entertainment to Michael. I hear older people say all the time "Where I was when Elvis died". For me i was only blocks away from him on Olive st in downtown LA talking to Shosmoove. This sad day June 25 2009 was my genrations Elvis. Good bye Michael R.I.P.
